Easy Grow - Microbiological Solutions for Thriving Cannabis Cultivation
2024-08-07 15:16
Although many believe microorganisms are inherently harmful, life, as we know it, is impossible without them. Soil hosts a diverse range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and insects. While some are pathogenic and cause plant issues, others are crucial for plant health. At Easy Grow, we explore the impact of microorganisms on plant development, particularly cannabis, focusing on nutrient media's role in growth stages.
The Importance of Seed Quality in Plant Health
Experienced growers understand the value of high-quality seeds, as they carry the genetic properties crucial for a successful harvest. However, genetics alone don’t guarantee a bountiful yield. Microorganisms, both beneficial and harmful, play a significant role in determining plant health.
Around 80% of plant diseases are transmitted through seeds, while only 20% originate from soil. Disease-causing organisms often lie dormant on seeds, activating when plants reach a vulnerable growth phase. This makes proper substrate treatment critical during seeding or rooting cuttings.
Harnessing the Power of Microbiological Solutions
At Easy Grow, we promote microbiological solutions as eco-friendly and effective alternatives to chemical treatments. Products like Fire Yield - Microbial Protect and La Calavera Catrina - Microbial Grow have proven to deliver up to 85% effectiveness compared to 95% with chemical disinfectants. Maintaining a balance of beneficial microorganisms ensures consistent protection throughout the growing cycle.
Creating the Optimal Environment for Microorganisms
For microorganisms to thrive:
Acidity: Maintain a pH level of 5.5–6.5. Fluctuations can inhibit their growth.
Oxygen: Proper aeration in the substrate is essential.
Nutrients: Use specialized additives like Atlas - Terra Enzymes and La Sirena - Vitamin Power to promote microorganism and plant development.
Easy Grow Practices for Seedling Success
When sowing seeds or cloning:
Moisten the substrate with a solution of Fire Yields (2 ml) + La Calavera Catrina (2 ml) + Atlas (2 ml) per liter of water.
For active environments, add La Sirena (2 ml/L) based on substrate type and pot size.
During growth and flowering, regularly apply microbiological solutions like Goddess Lada - Microbial Bloom alongside other Easy Grow products.
By integrating these practices and maintaining a balance of beneficial microorganisms, growers can achieve robust, healthy plants and maximize their harvest potential.
